Steve,

I fully accept the fact that you were a premie for almost three decades AND that you were super into it -- in your own way.  But I think that if you think this through, you'll agree that "in your own way" was not Rawat's way.  Well, you've said so yourself a few times now.  So doesn't that by definition mean that you weren't a "good premie"? 

I guess the other side of it, the thing I reacted to earlier, is that you seem to think that the "good premies" -- the suckers who swallowed, or at least tried to swallow, Rawat's agya hook, line and sinker -- were on some sort of trip of their own.  Almost like it was an optional way to be a premie.  I'm sorry but the term "corporate types" is really kind of insulting, when you think of it.  You make it sound like we wanted nothing more but to wear suits, etc.  Perhaps if you were fairer here, you'd be a little more respectful to us and less defensive about yourself. 

Don't forget, one of the best things we can do now, perhaps the only thing left to do, is understand the whole trip as best we can.  That means calling a spade a spade, doesn't it?
